What is the name of your state? Oregon
I work in a tiny clinic in Portland. An insurance company recently requested a refund for what they believed to be an overpayment for patient services. Our records did not show this as overpayment. This company said that they would deduct the amount from a future dispersement check if we did not send in the refund.
My question is: Is this legal? I thought that federal law prevented this type of withholding, and that we are not to be held responsible for their bookkeeping mistake. Is this true?
